I'm new to mumsnet and was hoping someone might be able to advise/reassure me about my ds 6. He is in year 1 and his teacher says he is not making enough progress. His main issues seem to be that he cannot complete a task on his own. After the class has been instructed by the teacher he seems unable to understand how to proceed unless the TA helps him. She says his work does not match his ability. He can read really well and spelling ok. Maths is also weak (barely average). Writing legibility is okay but content can be mixed up and not coherent. Socially he is a lovely, lovable boy and enjoys playing with others.
